Ammonia (Blue)

Guiding the Future of Clean Energy Production

Comprehensive owner’s engineer support for large-scale ammonia and hydrogen facilities

Tetra Tech provided engineering support for the development of a 1.4 million ton per year (MTPY) ammonia and 200,000 kilograms per day blue hydrogen production facility at Ingleside, Texas. The scope included the successful completion of the Pre-FEED (FEL-1 and FEL-2) phases, technology selection for ammonia production, and hydrogen systems with the capacity for additional export sales. Supporting infrastructure included product storage, compression, and transportation systems via both ship and pipeline, as well as water supply and treatment, wastewater disposal, power supply, and utility systems. Additionally, the long lead equipment items were identified for early procurement to support the FEED phase, and total installed cost estimates for the new plant were developed. For blue hydrogen production, technology selection included CO₂ capture and sequestration solutions to ensure low-carbon operations.
